Monkey dal?

Ahoy hoy! Inspired by Sarah and Jeff's naan adventures... this is a dal recipe we've done a few times, along with a recipe from Vegetarian cooking for everyone... that I can't remember right now... even though I just cooked it and ate it tonight. It's an indian-ish dish, with potato, cauliflower, spinach, and watercress. I'll find it some other time. With the dish I can't remember, this dal recipe, some rice, and naan, you've got a feast for 4.

Sautee paper thin slices of one large onion in 2-3 tbsp ghee (mmmmm!) until they're golden. Once the onions have started, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a heavy saucepan, and add 1 cup mung ki dal (small yellow lentils, or a similar sized lentil--french green work fine, too) plus 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp turmeric, and 1/4 tsp ground red chile. Simmer over low heat, partly covered, for about 30 minutes. When it's done add the onions, simmer until everything's hot, and taste for spices. Yummmmmm!
